NEURO REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR
STROKE
Stroke or cerebrovascular accident(CVA):
can be caused due to a block (infarct) in the blood vessel which is supplying to the brain or a intracranial bleed (intra cranial hemorrhage ICH) inside the brain which occupies space in the bony cranium(skull) compressing the brain tissue. it produces paralysis or weakness of either one side of the body or both sides in rare occasions. It is called hemiplegia if one side of the body is paralyzed, hemiparesis if one side is weaker than the other. it can also lead to a non responsive or vegetative state in some people, very rarely it paralyses all of the above, but leaves the ability to think intact. The only communication with the client will be true blinks of the eye which is called a locked-in syndrome. Physiotherapy can be of help in all the above situations.
HEAD INJURY
Brain injury;
Our brain can be damaged by infections like meningitis/encephalitis, space occupying lesions like tumors/hydrocephalus, or by trauma like a road traffic accident. It can produce problems like paralysis, paresis(weakness), of one or both sides of the body, spasticity, incoordination, balance issues, cognitive deficits like problem solving , visual perception problems like inattention to one side.
SPINAL CORD INJURY
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) can be caused by traumatic ( incidences such as traffic accidents, violence, sports or falls) or non_traumatic neural damage like (Spinal Cord Infections,Transverse Myelitis, Acute Intervertebral Disk Herniation, Spinal Abscess).
It causes impaired motor, sensory and respiratory function as well as bladder and bowel function.
SCI can be a complete and incomplete spinal cord injury . Complete Spinal cord injury results in Paraplegia (loss in motor and/or sensory function in the lower limbs and trunk), tetraplegia or quadriplegia where all four limbs and trunk are involved.
Incomplete spinal cord injuries have some motor or sensory functions intact.
Paraparesis (partially unable to move your legs or weakness in legs)
GUILLIAN BARRE SYNDROME (GBS)
Guillian barre syndrome/ landry palsy is a rare disorder in which your body’s immune system attacks your nerves. GBS can produce weakness in your legs, trunk & progress to the arms and chest making breathing difficult . For some people cranial nerves can also be affected leading to facial palsy, double vision speech difficulties swallowing difficulties etc
GBS can be classified into (AIDP) acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, (AMAN) acute motor axonal neuropathy, (AMSAN) acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy or Miller fisher syndrome according to the damage it causes to the body.
Physiotherapy for Guillian-barre syndrome during the acute phase when no movement is available. The focus will be on chest physiotherapy, and positioning. In the rehabilitative phase when muscles are starting to recover, physiotherapy is focussed towards strengthening muscles to produce enough force to perform activities of daily living like sitting to standing(a common problem) especially from low toilets. Exercises for GBS have to be specifically customised for that particular client. Exercises are planned for short periods with non-fatiguing exercises tailored to client strength. Progression of exercises is done only when no deterioration is seen
Clients with residual paralysis have to be counselled on alternative mobility options like using a walker or wheelchair or prescribing supportive devices for walking and other daily activities.
BELLS PALSY
Facial palsy or facial paralysis or Bell’s palsy causes partial or complete paralysis of one side of the face. Sagging of one side of your face, inability to close your eyes/blink, watering or dryness of eyes, drooling on the side of the mouth, loss of facial expression on one side, deviation of mouth on smiling, reduced speech clarity and losing confidence to appear in front of people are common.
Physiotherapy for facial/bell’s palsy. Initial assessment to measure the extent of damage.. Exercise therapy strategies like retraining(relaxation of overactive side, strengthening weak side), Biofeedback, mime therapy and Functional Exercises sharpen your blink response, improves ability to seal lips even while you move water in the mouth, increases clarity of speech, helps achieve even expressions on both sides of the face. Education and Counselling helps you to take better care of your face and become confident in facing the community. Electrical stimulation is utilised when no active movement is available until the nerve starts recovering.

JOINTS PAIN EVALUATION AND REHABILITATION FOR
OSTEOARTHRITIS
Osteoarthritis is where the joint surface become eroded & create pain which limits person mobility inturn reduces muscle strength there by limits activities of daily living.
Physiotherapy is aimed at reducing pain, strengthen muscles & able them to go back activity & prescribe appropriate device if full recovery is not possible. If surgery is required physiotherapy can be helpful to prepare the client for surgery & to help to recover from surgery.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
our body’s immune system attacks its own tissues including joints and internal organs & produce pain, swelling,muscle weakness, deformity,stiffness in joints. It affects one or both arms/legs usually happens on both side of the body.
Physiotherapy helps to slow down disease process. Exercise can restore muscle strength, improve flexibility and physical functions. Some physiotherapy managements helps to relieve pain.
TENNIS ELBOW
Condition in which the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender caused by overuse of wrist muscles usually during squeezing movements, while playing tennis, excessive turning of forearm, lifting heavy objects etc. patient will felt pain over a prominent part of the bone on the outside of the elbow. Pain limits your daily activities.
Physiotherapy will help you to reduce pain caused by tennis elbow. Stretching exercise will help to reduce pain. Strengthening your muscles improve your gripping activity.
PERIARTHRITIS OF SHOULDER/ FROZEN SHOULDER/ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS
It is a condition which causes pain & stiffness/tightness of shoulder joint capsule & limits full shoulder movements especially not able to reach your hand to lower back.Commonly occur in diabetic patients.
Golfers elbow
A condition which causes pain & stiffness tenderness on the inner surface of the elbow caused by excessive or repetitive motion on wrist and fingers, physio help to reduce pain and stiffness ,improve flexibility, restore the strength, relaxes tensed muscles and improve functional movement.
Carpel tunnel syndrome/ Median nerve compression
It is common condition among the woman and old age people causing pain,numbness and tingling in hand and wrist. It’s mainly occurs due to compression of nerves at the level of wrist due to repetitive movements of wrist or several factors including pregnancy.
This presses down on the median nerve and tendons (located inside the carpal tunnel), makes them swell, which cuts off sensation in the fingers and hand.
Lumbar spondylosis/ Back pain/LBA
Wear & tear or degeneration of lumbar(lower back) spinal discs and vertebrae causes back pain These changes can impair the spine’s movement and affect the nerves and other functions. The facet joints between the vertebrae also function less because of wear and tear on their cartilage surfaces.
As the cartilage erodes, the bones start to rub together, causing friction. This can result in the formation of bony growths, called bone spurs.Commonly occur after the age of 50
FITNESS PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS
POST-SURGICAL REHABILITATION.
Physiotherapy is important after any surgery.Post-surgical rehabilitation can be a long process.Post-surgical rehabilitation is a progressive activity. Tissues need to be stimulated, as they cannot recover on their own.
Recovery is a complex process, since tissue must also mature. The core of post-surgical rehabilitation is doing the right exercises and the right amount of exercises. The intensity of the stimulation should increase gradually and progressively.
Benefits of post-operative rehabilitation
